Starting km approx 16,870
Jeff and Cipi arrived Tuesday late. We had some beer and pizza that J and I ordered earlier. The drive was brutal on both since they had little sleep prior to departure and then drove from 3am Sunday to Tuesday AM with a 30 minute sleep break and a stop over to look at a natural wonder site. Their last stretch was done in the dark on rural mountain roads with steep cliffs, curved roads and wild life warnings - just the kind of road that one wants to do sleep deprived. The last 123 km are very scenic but were driven at slow speeds and driver change every 30 minutes. It’s amazing what a couple of slices of pizza and a few beers can do to help a transition into their part 1 recovery sleep. Cipi works in construction, so he is up early everyday. Day 1 was no exception. Clearly, both would be exceptionally tired before end of day today.
Cipi and Mike got up early and took the BMW to the dealer in West Kelowna to get tires changed and oil/filter replaced.
Appointment was for Wednesday based on original travel expectations, but we asked to get appointment changed to Tuesday. Fortunately, dealer Bentley Motors holds a few traveler spots open in the morning and was kind enough to take my bike in. That is the sign of a great dealership and I really appreciate their service commitment. It’s much better than most BMW dealers who offer adventurers on a timeline appointments in 2 weeks. Bike was ready for noon.
